Today was the day we’d been waiting for and Kent delivered in time-honoured style, taking myself, Martin, Chris, Louise and Will off for a bit of exploring. And it was amazing…

 

 

Yes, Kent’s long threatened day skiing with the Grinning Swede arrives today and we’ve just been skiing epic spring snow over on Mash. If you want to know where exactly you’ll just have to book Kent fit the day as he’s sworn us to secrecy.

(I however am open to bribes…).

Yes, we have shed the boiling spring-like temperatures of late February and it’s gone all wintery again. I for one was a bit chilly up there today.

But we had about 20cm of fresh snow overnight and since the half-term chaos died down at the weekend with the last of the European holidays, it was pretty relaxed up there today.

Of course, don’t be fooled into thinking it’ll be pure powder skiing as there’s a pretty icy base underneath all this, but it’s great to get some fresh snow on the hill and if you don’t mind bouncing off the frozen base every turn or so, it’s really rather nice…

Epic, you might say.

Yes, Toby took over the direction of the weather report this week and he’s delivered a meaningful piece that allows him to both express his feelings and communicate them through the medium of his muse, Sophie, and some incidental jazz…

I think it’s hard to disagree that if the Baftas were just a week later it could have been a contender.

Sophie steps up and tells us exactly what’s happening in Verbier. And also uses the word “absolutely” with gay abandon.

Looks coudy in town but a quick look at the webcams reveals it’s clear up top.
